About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

Open Minds interview of Travis Walton (1975 UFO abductee) compares his account to "Fire in the Sky"

I stumbled across some YouTube videos of a 57 year old
Travis Walton describing, with articulation, his abduction on Nov. 5, 1975 by a
UFO from a group of other loggers on a forest road about the Mogollon Rim near
Snowflake, AZ.

The most detailed interview that I could find is with native
American host Alejandro Rojas of Open Minds Radio, the interview ("Travis Walton Discusses his Abduction Experience") taken on
Jan. 3, 2011. The link for OMR is here.

The first thirty minutes of the 90 minute “film” have him
discussing other UFO-related issues, including a discussion with someone from
SETI claiming that red dwarf star Gliese (about 20 light years from Earth)
seems to have at least two planets (however tidally locked) within its
Goldilocks zone. Walton talks for the remaining hour (sometimes is voice is
very low and hard to hear).

Walton says the evening sky was illuminated oddly around 6
PM (after dark that time of year). The
video simulates the illumination. The crew thought that the light might becoming
from flares from hunters.

Walton says he was struck by a bluish bolt (rather like ball
lightning) and woke up feeling very weak on a gurney on the craft, with medical
gear attached to his head and chest. He
describes seeing “people” looking the “the Grays” before being taken to an
indoor hangar where he would encounter a few “normal” humans who tried to
continue the medical experiments.

The most interesting fact is that Walton was gone for five
days, but returned to Earth on a road near Heber AZ five days later. Search parties had found no evidence of him,
although I recall claims at the time that there was someone he knew that he
could have stayed with. Nevertheless, it
would be rather incredible that the entire logging team would have been in on a
prank. All passed the polygraph tests,
and Walton’s medical tests were normal (no drugs). Walton did not have the bruises that might
have resulted from the initial trauma of the encounter. No one has mentioned whether any of the alien
medical tests left significant changes on his body (like hair removal).

Walton says that the real account is quite different from
the Hollywood account directed by Robert Liberman for Paramount in 1993, “Fire
in the Sky”, written by Tracy Torme, based on Travis Walton’s own book, where
Walton was played by D.B. Sweeney. I saw
that in Pentagon City in 1993 when it had a theater complex (I don’t know why
it didn’t do well enough to stay open). The film was a bit hokey as I recall.

I did make a rental car vacation trip to northern Arizona in
December 1975, talked to a journalist in Heber myself (he believed the story),
and then went to Dan Fry’s Understanding “Saucer City” near Tonopah AZ for the
first time. (It’s no longer there, now a
cotton plantation, last visit in 2000.) I saw one large object over the sky in the
Mogollon area on that trip, and in 1978 (at an Understanding “convention”
called “Man in Space”) a lot of us saw a triangular object with flickering red
and green lights in the sky for about an hour.
Would a chopper hover that long?

Is it just possible that there is a civilization in the Gliese star system that has overcoming tidal locking (probably seeded from elsewhere, as in Ridley Scott's "Prometheus") and is capable of the 20-light-year journey? Could a "hangar" really exist somewhere else in our solar system, an hour or so at the speed of light away? One of my own screenplays is "69 Minutes to Titan".
